Boomplay recap for 2021 in Tanzania
It has been a long 2021 which had a fair share of difficulties.. But there are reasons to be cheerful as we look toward 2022.
One main reason is of all years, 2021 was a banner year for music. In Tanzania, there has been some changes in the music industry such as being incorporated into policy.
The emergence and growth of Amapiano and Singeli genres taking over the Bongo Flava industry, too, was part of that refreshing experience.
This is a start and there is a long way to go, but all in all, 2021 has given a good forecast for 2022.
On December 7, Boomplay released its yearly recap which saw artistes such as Rayvanny, Mbosso and Alikiba taking the first,second and third spots respectively in the 'Most Streamed Male' category.
On the other hand, Zuchu, Nandy and Anjella, were named as the 'Most Streamed Females’.
It is worth noting that Zuchu has held the number one spot for two years, in a row!
In a year that has seen over five albums and EPs released on Boomplay, a notable achievement has been that of a hip-hop artiste Stamina whose album "Paradiso", released in November, garnered one million streams within a week on the platform.
